Security Scanning Belongs Inside the Coding Agent Loop

Why generated code should pass dependency, secret and vulnerability checks before review.

Why this matters

AI accelerates code production; it does not remove the need for secure engineering controls.

The practical takeaways

  • Scan dependencies and secrets automatically.
  • Treat generated code as untrusted until tests pass.
  • Keep a trace from request to committed change.

How to apply it

Start with one measurable workflow, define the failure boundary, and publish the result with enough context for another builder to reproduce the decision. The goal is not to chase every announcement; it is to turn useful changes into better products, skills and deployment practice.
